“It seemed so wimpy at first when I started to play [guitar]. So I started playing loud with lots of effects just to try to mimic the dynamic [of the drums]. Drums seemed a lot more expressive. [I was] Trying to emulate the feeling of playing the drums on the guitar - I guess that's why I played it so loud.” TryingFirstsPlayFeelingsEffectsGuitarLoudEmulateExpressive Author:J Mascis
“I had no idea what effect something blockbustering would have. To me, it was just a job that I was trying to do the best I could. We had shot the first five shows before it went on the air. Then, it was this firecracker hit, and people were recognizing me, so it was just nuts. It was overwhelming, insane, wonderful and scary all at the same time. It's really peculiar that people see you on television and then think they have a personal relationship with you. So, they want to touch you, and grab you, and sit down and have lunch with you.

“We feel the urge to tell the truth as we see it. But we should try to accomplish this without judgemental condemnations that hurt others. Again, when we remember that what we perceive in another is a reflection of ourselves, we become less judgemental.

“Autobiographical writings, essays, interviews, various other things... All the non-fiction prose I wanted to keep, that was the idea behind this collected volume, which came out about few years ago.

“Particularly when I thought of myself as a Wallace Stevens acolyte, I wrote very difficult poetry and I was really guilty of not knowing what I was talking about. I was going for a kind of clever verbal effect. I was trying to sound linguistically or verbally interesting. I had a sense, I guess, from just reading a lot of poetry of how a poem would start and how it would end but really I didn't know what I was doing. It had very little connection to my life.” KnowsTryingKindLittlesEndsReadingDifficultSoundInterestingTalkingKnowingEffectsConnectionsCleverGuiltyNot Knowing Author:Billy Collins
“In terms of the economics, yes obviously the rise of e-books and how people choose to read books has a big effect on the economics of the game. But whether people are buying them on paper or downloading them there's still some poor wretch in a room who is trying to write a poem, write a story, write a novel. And so my job doesn't change. It's just how people receive it and economic conditions on the ground change, but that doesn't affect what I write.” PeopleWritingTryingStillsBookStoriesBigsJobsGamesTermPoorRoomsNovelEconomicConditionsEffectsPaperEconomicsBuying Author:Colson Whitehead
“Milton on speed. I am going to need about a decade to think about that. That delay in syntax, the putting off of the click of the sentence into itself, is something that has always intrigued me.

Sometimes I try it and it doesn't work, so I have to put the poem aside, and try again, more simply and more strange.” ThinkingWantNeedsTryingSometimesEffectsEmotionalStrangeSentencesSpeedDecadesGesturesDelayTry AgainClicksIntriguedMiltonSyntax Author:Matthew Zapruder
